Thanks for nothing...
@EA_Jesse
A lot of us were excited at the prospect of having some previously unfarmable characters become available for stage 7 Cantina.
After reading the announcement I can say that " The disappointment is strong with this one".
All these toons we can already farm in hard nodes and TR has been available forever in GW shipments so that anybody who wants him can get him the easiest way, no point adding him in Cantina, he's just taking up space.
So really the feeling I had in reading this annoucement was close to disgust, two words popping up in my mind... "Thanks for nothing!"
After the huge disappointment from the Shard Shop, outrageous exchange rates, extremely limited choice of toon shards a day (6) for an irrelevant number of shards (2) without possibility of refresh making it practicaly impossible to spend the thousands shard currencies we have accumulated from "unlucky" Chromium drops, yes most that drop are the same characters so that you end up with a few maxed out and others just no dropping...
After the level 80 update fiasco where your dev team failed to coherently organize the gear leveling so that we end up with a small percentage of players who had time, knowledge, foresight and ressources to quickly pre-craft and take advantage of this gross oversight (I have to believe this wasn't intentional otherwise it would make it even worst).
This blunder has created a huge gap between haves and haves not making it practicaly impossible to compete for those who are mostly stuck in gear 8.
So there you have it, just a bad feeling overall. I still love the game enough to care about it's development thus this feedback.
I have invested a lot of real money in it so far as it permitted me to make steady and exciting progress. But lately I've stopped buying Chromiums, the drop rate seemed biased towards the same characters and we can't do much with all the unusable extra shards.
For me it's very simple, the more I enjoy a game, the more excited I feel about my progress, the more I'm willing to spend.
Right now the excitement and enjoyment keeps dropping, so is my spending.
But there is still hope, let's see what happens with the upcoming balance and guild updates.
The Force be with you!

Dear anakin, why have you royally guarded us of ani chance to see snow troopers in california... is it because of the tasks that are forever raiding your to-do lists??
I am so upset, i need to call gandhi for assistance... May he stun again!
Lolz
I agree TR is a waste of space though, could have put a range of better toons on there that aren't so easily farmable as it is.
With regards chromiums, I've also stopped buying those months ago. Tired of getting useless shards for useless toons, much better spent on refreshes. As fun as it is opening a pack it usually ends up in disappointment, regret and fustration.
I wouldn't be too excited about that I basically see that being mainly gold gear mats at a stunning ratio. Other than that the gears that we can't get else where. That's all I see in that.
You are just salty that f2p will get their hands on RG, that's why you had to mention old news, like shardshop.
Most people are excited to see RG, snowtrooper, Anakin in cantina.
They are giving us two toons that will most likely be part of the new meta!
Pretty sure Jesse specifically said there would be shards in the new store, and that gold mats are obtainable by completing all daily challenges once you get level 80.
So, I'm happy to see that many will get new and popular toons. But it feels a little sad that I don't really get anything worthwhile from this since I already have it all maxed out. :-/ Something for the paying players would be cool too, you know.
Considering the guild and guild exclusive content, I would recommend people to tune down their excitement because the implementation of this could be completely incompatible with the notion of mobile gaming. Guilds and guild specific content is a design that is meaningful for PC and console gaming where all players integrated the constraints to log together, play together for fix length of time, etc... But with mobile gaming, we are talking about a majority of players logging in at different times for variable duration while they have a pause at work or while they travel. So too strong constraints could get them excluded from guild activities and block their progression by parts starvation. If the devs did not have this in mind their player base and thus income might drop fast.
It's not like PvP guilds is a new thing in mobile gaming... It's huge. And it's rather the other way around from what you're saying. Since ppl carry their phone everywhere you can always reach them via for instance Line. When they're console or PC based, they can only be online during a window of a few hours per day.
You posted on the wrong thread clown. The gear and guilds megathreads ain't here (and i'm against gear and guild changes too). Most people here mocking the OP because he is salty about RG and Anakin being on cantina and now f2p can have easy access to them.
It's to encourage low ranked players to log in every day to complete their 3x arena fights. Beforehand you could gain 150 tokens per day without doing anything; with the changes you'll only get 50.
In essence, EA are hoping it's another way to stimulate spending.
RG is the best tank in the game.
Anakin is an incredibly long farm and he is one of the most underrated toons in the game.
The only 'blunder' is Tusken Raider, but even then they tend to overlap a lot regardless so...
Oooops. You was first. But for real. Reading the op ONE WORD comes to mind.
"I love this game, it's a game and I love it, that is all. Thank you for creating a game that makes me happy, a temporary escape from reality. Keep up the good work"
That concludes the ONE WORD that came to mind
im not trolling, I'm just saying the OP is complaining about something that is good news to many people. I understand the gear problem, as I only have one droid caller and 4 characters who need it. Just mocking the op for being too salty
And don't forget that Snowtrooper is only farmable in chromium packs. So they added a chromium hero to cantina too. Which makes me wonder what's the OP's purpose here? It's like a 10 year old crying to his mom because they bought him iPhone 6 instead of 6 plus.
Snowtrooper actually got a hard node at the stage 8 ds battles and he dropped from bronziums as well. But I agree with the rest, the new cantina heroes are great!
However for those of us that are often contemptuously referred to as whales, there's nothing to be excited about.
For some reason, many f2p players seem to resent those who chose to spend money to improve faster and unlock exclusive toons.
It's very simple, no "whales" no profit for EA, no profit, no game developments, so nothing for f2p to either enjoy or complain about.
Some have misinterpreted my comments, nowhere do I express any feelings about certain hard nodes becoming easy farms for f2p, not at all.
But for many of us that pay to play, pay to improve, pay to enjoy, pay to fund the game, there's nothing new or exciting about Cantina 7.
lol
Hey thanks for putting so much money in the game so that EA will provide this mostly FTP player some neat stuff. Could you put another $1000 in? I'd like to be able to farm Aayla next update.
